MORRISTOWN — Two men were indicted today in connection with the slaying of Esteban Hernandez-Vazquez of North Bergen, whose body was found Aug. 4, 2011 in the trunk of a car abandoned in a wooded area of Lincoln Park.

Carlos Rojas, 21, of North Bergen is accused of killing Hernandez-Vazquez, 27, by hitting him on the head with a hammer at the Fairview home of his alleged accomplice, Oscar Benedicto-Aleman, 46.

Benedicto-Aleman allegedly told detectives he saw Rojas hit Hernandez-Vaquez on Aug. 3 and that Rojas then put Hernandez-Vazquez’ body in the trunk of the victim’s white Toyota Camry. Rojas drove the victim’s vehicle to Lincoln Park, where it was abandoned, while Benedicto-Aleman drove Rojas’ vehicle there, according to police.

Rojas was indicted by a Morris County grand jury on charges of murder, felony murder, kidnapping, desecrating and disturbing human remains, hindering apprehension and two counts each of theft and weapons possession.

Benedicto-Aleman was indicted on charges of disturbing and desecrating human remains, hindering apprehension, and two counts each of child endangerment and child abuse.

According to the indictment, Benedicto-Aleman had a “legal duty” to care for an 11-year-old child in Fairview on Aug. 3, but committed child abuse by “permitting or allowing another person to perform an indecent or immoral act.”
